“Turns out not where but who you're with that really matters.” - Dave Matthews Band

Today we're celebrating Chloe and 14 years of having her as part of the team.

When she's not working, you'll find her enjoying time with her husband Ryan and their two kids, listening to Taylor Swift or Dave Matthews, or fully embracing her Harry Potter fandom.

And then there's the humor. If you've worked with Chloe, you know. 😉

Happy 14th anniversary, Chloe!

Don’t de-prioritize your own financial future in favor of your child’s education. Your child can take a loan for college, but you cannot take a loan for retirement.

Your student may qualify for alternative funding resources, such as loans, grants, scholarships, part-time work, or other opportunities. Our Fee-Only advisors recommend striking a balance between quality education and long-term financial stability.

Smart planning can make college more affordable. Learn more about saving for education from Galecki Financial Management’s Fee-Only advisors in Fort Wayne, IN.

Marriage does a lot of quiet admin work. Joint titling moves the house without a court. A spouse is the named agent on nearly every form. The answer to “who decides?” is obvious enough that nobody writes it down.

But take the spouse out of the picture, and every one of those defaults needs a replacement. Who signs if you are in surgery? Who talks to the custodian holding your IRA? Who serves as trustee if your named trustee was your former husband, or your late husband’s brother?

These are the single most common reason an otherwise tidy plan stalls in probate court or in a hospital hallway at 2 a.m.

If you turned 73 this year, or will soon, required minimum distributions (RMDs) are no longer a distant concept. They are a reality that can catch people off guard if the plan isn’t already in place.

The good news: if you’re not yet subject to RMDs, you likely have a significant window to reduce future RMD exposure through Roth conversions, charitable giving strategies, or other planning moves.
